The Beatitudes ~ An Invitation to Radical Living

"Blessed are Those...." Jesus' model for Superior Living

The Beatitudes are not general, abstract sayings. Jesus is the speaker. He is the embodiment of all the Beatitudes, so they become an invitation to follow, to become part of this new family of God. The Beatitudes are the beauty of Jesus, His Story and words. He was meek, merciful, poor, persecuted and hated. In essence the Beatitudes speak for Jesus, as if He is saying, "This is who I am. This is what Oneness with God looks like."
